• Abstract:
  As traffic volumes increase in Florida, managed lanes are being increasingly used. Managed ; lanes include those for which multiple passengers (high occupancy vehicle, or HOV, lanes) are ; required or access is permitted based on high occupancy and/or paying a toll (high occupancy/ ; toll or HOT lanes). To date, systematic methods to analyze safety on HOV/HOT lanes in terms ; of expected crash frequency have not been developed. Crash frequency provides an objective ; view of the safety of an existing roadway, and it can also be used to predict the crash ; incidence and severity based on roadway ; geometry. This information is useful in ; planning and design.
